    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.All such relations can be specified by a number of magnitudes
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Specifying magnitudes reduces spatio-temporal relations to quantities
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Topological and ordinal relations (betweenness, continuity, connectedness) are irreducibly qualitative structural features of space-time.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Quantitative magnitude assignment presupposes these qualitative relations and cannot itself ground or replace them.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Husserl and Merleau-Ponty demonstrate that lived spatial orientation (up/down, near/far as felt proximity) resists exhaustive metric representation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If some spatio-temporal relations are constitutively perspectival, no observer-independent quantitative specification can fully capture them.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Earlier Schlick had argued that knowledge consists in the identification of that which is known with that as which it is known or, in other words, knowledge consists in the relation of one thing to some other thing, as which it is known. And this is only achieved when one of the objects which is known is, in turn, related to still others, as it is in the myriad spatio-temporal relations in which it stands to other objects. Ultimately, all these relations can be known quantitatively by specifying
